THE 



BUFFALO 

High Schools 



1898-99. 



REPORT 



PRINCIPAL OF CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. 



To Henry P. Emerson, Stiperintendent of Education : 

Dear Sir — The past year has been one of activity, growth 
and progress. Life here is never dull and, even if we wished, it 
would be impossible to remain in common-place ruts. There 
are so many stirring events, so strong a school spirit, so many 
worthy ambitions in the intellectual and the athletic field, and so 
powerful a stimulus of a proud history, that the very momentum 
and inspiration of it all carries the school forward on its honor- 
able career. There is now also the added wholesome stimulus in 
our friendly and generous rival, the Masten Park High School. 
You will be glad to know that the most cordial relations exist 
between the two schools. I addressed the Masten Park High 
School, on invitation of the school and faculty, and was received 
with warm and genuine pleasure. Mr, Fosdick accepted a 
similar invitation from us, and was accorded such sincere and 
hearty demonstrations of welcome as would make any speaker 
proud and happy. The two high schools, working in sympathy 
and with singleness of purpose, hope to make their work and 
achievements worthy of this great city, and worthy of the con- 
fidence and expectation of a tax-paying public. 



Still, the burden of our cry is more room. Last year my 
report emphasized the need of more and better quarters. Plans 
were drawn for a wing on the Franklin Street side, which would 
accommodate 150 pupils, and at the same time afford the 
required facilities for physical and biological laboratories. After 
the project passed the Lower House and found favor in the 
Upper, it was discovered that there was no money for this 
addition, and we had to begin another year without adequate 
equipment for scientific training. Our efforts in behalf of this 
additional wing, however, are not lost, as the movement has 
gained many friends, and there is a distinct sentiment in its favor. 
By means of sliding partitions, we have been able to secure 
two class rooms in the assembly room. At present there are 
650 pupils in Annexes 14, 18 and the Central Annex (B. &S.). 
We have seven rooms in the latter building, paying an annual 
rental of ;^2,6oo. 

The country is just waking up to the necessity of thorough 
teaching in English. This school has always felt the importance 
of thorough instruction and practice in this field of study, and with 
all due modesty we may with pride point to a very remarkable 
series of results. The Sons of the Revolution, State of New 
York, have for five years given three medals for the best com- 
positions on revolutionary subjects. The competition is open to 
all the High Schools and Academies in the cities and towns of 
this State. The first year the Central High School won the 
bronze medal, the second the bronze and the silver, the third the 
silver and the gold, the fourth the bronze, the silver and the 
gold, and the fifth, last year, the bronze ; making a total of nine 
medals out of a possible fifteen. Surely our pride is in a meas- 
ure justifiable. This school also won six out of eight prizes 



ofifered by the Buffalo Humane Society for essays. Two draw- 
ing prizes fell to our share — a first prize of ten dollars and 
another one dollar prize for the most artistic cover design, to be 
used in the publication of" The Schools of Buffalo." 

There is a healthy spirit of athletics in the school, and inter- 
scholastic sports have become settled affairs. For two years 
this school held the cup for general athletics, and last year we 
again captured the baseball cup, which we have now held two 
years. The Athletic Society won two prizes for relay racing. 
All this serves as a safety valve for the enthusiasm of youth, 
and creates a strong school spirit. As in the past, a period each 
week is set aside for an address by some prominent speaker. 
During the past year we have had such men as Dr. Jacob Gould 
Schurman, president of Cornell University, the Superintendent 
of Education, Prof Garner, the African traveller. Dr. Grabau, of 
Boston, Dr. Beauchamp and others. The principal has con- 
tinued his stereopticon talks, talks on current events, and the 
regular morning three-minute chats or reading. Four musicales 
were given during the winter, all by first-class talent. The ser- 
vices are gratuitous and Denton, Cottier & Daniels have always 
loaned a grand piano without charge. We believe a taste for 
fine music is cultivated and the standards of our pupils elevated 
in various directions. 

Good speakers, high class music, fine pictures, earnestness 
in work, and examples of self-control all about, must have their 
effect on the young boy and girl coming into the larger life and 
activities of the high school. We have a flourishing debating 
society and a young and vigorous science club. The regular 
annual play was given this year," The Russian Honeymoon," by 
pupils on three consecutive nights. It was a great success. 



The reception by the faculty was again tendered to the seniors 
and their parents. The boys' room, the hall and some of the 
adjoining class rooms were artistically transformed for this pur- 
pose. Our thanks are due to the Superintendent of Buildings 
for valuable aid. A committee of teachers and the junior class 
had charge of the preparations for this senior reception. If 
showed a fine spirit on the part of the juniors, and is far better 
than the silly custom of trying to turn off the lights or collect- 
ing outside and trying to break up the affair. Surely the world 
moves. The Calendar, our school paper, appeared monthly and 
seems to have kept up its record for the past. The Central and 
Hasten Park High Schools graduated their classes jointly at 
Music Hall, June 22, 1899. Mr. John B. Olmsted, of this city, 
delivered the address. The schools had separate exercises in 
the morning, however, each in its own assembly room. The 
Central had a " Parliament of Nations," at which the coloniz- 
ation policy of each was discussed. 

There are some other things of interest I might speak of, 
but my space is already fully taken. This completes the 
seventh year of my principalship; and it has been by far my 
pleasantest. For this I have to thank you — for your sympathy 
and help — our faithful corps of teachers, and the splendid body 
of young men and women in the school. It is an honor and a 
pleasure to be at the head of such a school. 

Respectfully submitted, 

FREDERICK A. VOCtT, 

Principal of Central High School. 



REPORT 



OF 



PRINCIPAL OF MASTEN PARK HIGH 
SCHOOL. 



To Henry P. Emerson, Superintendent of Education. 

Dear Sir — The second annual report of the Hasten Park 
High School is herewith presented in accordance with your 
request. The year which this covers has been one of growth 
and improvement in the quality rather than in the quantity of 
work done. Our registration exceeded twelve hundred last year 
and at the opening of the present term the same figure was 
reached and over one hundred pupils were sent elsewhere on 
account of lack of room. With a seating capacity of but ten 
hundred and fifty-six, this number is more than can be comfort- 
ably accommodated, but the teachers without complaint have 
borne the added burden and the excellent showing made in pro- 
motions and examinations testifies that the work was well done. 
It is deeply to be regretted that the Board of Councilmen has by 
its action delayed the necessary steps looking toward the erec- 
tion of the West High School. Buffalo with its growing popu- 
lation, its increasing intelligence, should be provided with ample 
facilities for high school work. Not only is a new high school 
necessary, but the Central needs a new addition in order that its 
laboratory accommodations may be in keeping with the school 
requirements of to-day. 



Few radical changes have been made during the past year. 
The money voted by the city, five hundred dollars of which was 
duplicated by the Regents, has been judiciously expended for 
needed chemical and physical apparatus, reference books for our 
library and other necessary appliances for successful work. All 
the departments of the school are now fairly well equipped. 
The trend of educational thought being more and more toward 
the laboratory idea, it is gratifying to note that we are well pre- 
pared for just this kind of work. By practical experiments our 
scholars can become familiar with the most recent discoveries in 
science, the latest results of research. The scholars take great 
interest in this practical instruction and recognize its value. 
Under its stimulus our physics department grew very rapidly, 
finally becoming so large that it was necessary for the teaching 
force to be increased. Mr. John W. Greenwood, who had been 
for some years an instructor at the Buffalo State Normal School, 
was appointed and the results show that your selection was a 
very wise one. 

In June we graduated our first class and the exercises con- 
nected therewith were of the most interesting character. Believ- 
ing that the parents of our seniors would enjoy spending a social 
evening with them at the school house, a reception was given to 
the graduating class and their parents in the Assembly Room by 
the Faculty on Monday evening. May 29th. During commence- 
ment week we had " Tennyson Evening " at which time were 
presented scenes from " Gareth and Lynette," one of Tennyson's 
most enjoyable idylls. During the evening, the Senior Class 
presented to the school a beautiful picture of Sir Galahad. 

The exercises on commencement morning took the form of 
" class day," being managed by the officers of the Senior Class. 



The class marched in a body to the Assembly Room, followed 
by the Principal and Senior teachers. The program consisted of 
the President's greeting, the class history, the class prophecy, 
the welcome to the junior class and the response for the juniors ; 
the surrender of the Tekla Literary Club to the junior girls and 
the acceptance by the juniors. At this point the Telka Literary 
Society presented to the school a copy of a picture in the court 
of oyer and terminer in New York City, painted by Edward J. 
Simmons. Justice occupies the center panel ; at her left are the 
Three Fates and at her right are Liberty, Fraternity and Equality. 
The exercises indoors were concluded by the Principal's address. 
The juniors marched out forming a column in the center aisle 
and staircases through which the seniors, followed by the faculty, 
passed to an appointed place just outside the main entrance where 
an ivy was planted and the ivy oration by Galen Nichols 
delivered. Here also the seniors joined in the class song written 
by the class poet. 

The regular commencement exercises by the classes of 
Hasten Park and the Central were held in Music Hall, Thursday 
evening, June 22d. The arrangement of the stage and graceful 
line of march of the two classes was something entirely new, 
the committee of teachers from both schools having carefully 
planned it. The addresses made that evening were an inspira- 
tion to the large number of parents and friends who listened to 
them. The members of the Hasten Park class reccommended 
by the Faculty as candidates for the Jesse Ketchum gold medals, 
were Edna L. Browne and Merton S. Fales. 

Sometime in October, 1898, Mr. Osborne, one of the 
managers of the George Junior Republic spoke at the school 
and gave a very graphic account of the workings of the self- 



government idea among the boys of the now famous common- 
wealth. It occurred to some of the teachers and older scholars 
of the school that the movement, with changes necessary to fit 
it to its new surroundings, could be inaugurated with good 
results. For years the spirit of royalty to the best interests of 
the school has been one of the features of the Central High 
School, and since its opening the same idea has been most 
prominent at Hasten Park ; but it was thought that if the 
scholars took a more active part in the government of the school, 
bore some of the responsibilities of its management, it would 
stimulate a greater care in little things, create a healthy public 
opinion, and raise the standard of excellence to a higher plane. 
Accordingly, the matter was referred to a committee of which 
one of the teachers was chairman. The committee drew up a 
course of procedure which, not being acceptable to the school, 
was tabled. In a short time another constitution was drawn up 
by a committee made up of scholars only and after being fully 
discussed, was adopted by an overwhelming majorit}'. This 
provided for a student court consisting of a presiding judge, a 
recording judge, a senior judge taken from the senior class, and 
two judges each from the junior, middle and freshman classes, 
nine in all. This court, meeting every week, has authority 
delegated to it by the school to listen to charges against any 
scholar, to determine whether the nature of the charges demands 
a trial or not. If a trial seems necessary, it has the power to 
summon witnesses, who, by the terms of the constitution, are 
required to give whatever testimony is needed and answer all 
questions truthfully. The accused have the privilege of counsel 
if they so desire. Before a verdict can be operative, whether 
that of acquittal or guilt, it must have the sanction of the Princi- 
pal and the penalty must be pronounced in his presence. These 



penalties range from public reprimand, deductions from class 
averages, to actual expulsion. Although the plan has been in 
operation only since last March, enough has been accomplished 
to cause all to feel that the Hasten Park High School Common- 
wealth is an institution that has great possibilities in it and no 
one would be willing to go back to the old system. While 
many colleges have plans similar to this, it is believed that this 
is the first high school in the State to adopt the plan of self- 
government for its scholars. 

Great interest is still felt in athletics and the school is 
justly proud of its track team and football eleven. Both have 
made creditable records and brought honor to the school. 
While in some quarters anything looking like interests in sports 
is severely criticized, it is believed by the great majority of the 
workers at Hasten Park that under proper restrictions such 
things are exceedingly beneficial to all. They instill into the 
players a desire for fair dealing, clean games and honorable com- 
petition, arouse enthusiasm in the school, and augment a strong 
and healthy school spirit. In Buffalo, Tonawanda and Roches- 
ter the teachers and scholars by their support and presence have 
given an impetus to this branch of our school life that has been 
most beneficial. 

Special efforts have been made to make our instruction in 
English of the most thorough and practical character. We 
realize the necessity of this and no efforts have been spared to 
create enthusiasm in this branch of our work. In First Year 
English, Rhetoric and English Composition the scholars are 
trained not only to detect errors and defects in the language, but 
to discover its beauties and its strength. We are gratified at the 
progress made in this department. It is pleasing to note that 



10 

two scholars won prizes in the Humane Society's contest and 
many others received honorable mention for the excellence of 
their essays. 

Each year the school makes an excursion to Portage. 
This year, about one thousand scholars and friends took advan- 
tage of the low rate of fare, and passed a delightful day amid the 
beautiful scenes of the famous Portage Falls. It is a good 
thing to encourage young people to leave for a time the artificial 
atmosphere of the city, and get into close touch with nature and 
become acquainted with her beauties. Many scholars have 
acquired a habit of observation from the annual outing, and the 
excursions of our Geology and Botany classes, which has 
brought into their after life pleasure and profit. 

Our Wednesday morning talks have been productive of 
much good during the past year. It is a custom that could not 
be dispensed with except with great loss to the school. We 
have been honored with the presence of many noted men, in- 
cluding the officers of the " Fighting Thirteenth," three college 
presidents, representatives from Congress, and other prominent 
citizens whose addresses have been most helpful and inspiring. 
In connection with our Wednesday morning exercises, our 
orchestra always furnishes selections from the most noted com- 
posers, thus giving the boys and girls a taste for the best in 
music. Three morning musicales were given, which were very 
enjoyable and uplifting. 

On February nth, the school presented a patriotic program 
including a play entitled " An Underground Station," written for 
the occasion by Mr. Detmers, Principal of the West High School. 
Lincoln's birthday has been set aside by the school as a time 



11 

when some entertainment in keeping with the day shall be pre- 
sented. We observed also English Day, Irish Day, Scotch 
Day and German Day, at which time some of the best literature 
of the countries under consideration was given. These exercises 
have been very instructive, and we expect to present the customs 
and literature of other countries in the near future. In short 
no effort is spared to give our scholars an insight into the 
beauties of poetry and prose and to keep them in touch with 
the best thought of the day. 

The hopes expressed in the last report have been realized to 
a greater extent than many deemed possible. There remains, 
however, much to be accomplished. It is the purpose of the 
teachers and scholars of Hasten Park High School to become 
more and more identified with those things that tend to sound 
scholarship, to high moral influence, to lofty ideals. In these 
our aims we are confident that we shall have your assistance as 
unstintedly given in the future as it has been in the past. 

Respectfully submitted, 

FRANK S. FOSDICK, 

Principal of Hasten Park High School.
